Sudbury’s most entertaining event of the fall is back: Porketta Bingo!

Sudbury Performance Group (SPG), along with the Trevi Bar and Grill, hosts this fabulous, fun-filled fundraiser every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Trevi, 1837 Lasalle Blvd.

Mark Mannisto, SPG President, explained, “Porketta Bingo is a way for SPG and the Trevi, to help community groups from the Sudbury area fundraise. Community groups can apply to work with us on a Saturday, and then they can receive funds from that afternoon’s Porketta Bingo proceeds.”

Mannisto added that community groups can apply by emailing [email protected] or calling or texting him at 705-662-8518. “All the groups need to provide is two volunteers to help work that day,” he further added. “The rest of 2024 is fully booked, but we are taking applications for 2025.”

SPG has helped many different community groups fundraise through Porketta Bingo, including sports teams, seniors’ groups, Scouting groups, and more. “It is a very successful fundraiser, very popular, so well worth a group’s time, to apply and come out,” he said.

Not only is Porketta Bingo a fantastic way to fundraise, it’s also a really fun afternoon to attend, according to Mannisto. “We make it fun for everyone. The Trevi has also helped us introduce Wingo Bingo, so if Porketta is not your thing, you can win a pound of wings instead!” he explained.

Look out if you don’t call out Bingo correctly, though. “You have to yell out Porketta, or Porky,” Mannisto clarified. “If you call out Bingo instead, you will get booed by the whole group…or worse! It’s all in good fun, though!”

Mannisto had effusive thank yous for everyone at the Trevi. “We couldn’t do this every week without the incredible support of the Trevi, and the amazing staff they have there. Kristy, Joanne and Erika really hustle out there each Saturday, making sure everyone is getting their Porketta, wings, or burger and fries…making sure everyone is having the best time. They really make the whole thing possible, and so enjoyable for everyone.”

If you are involved with a community group looking for fundraising opportunities, reach out to Mark today. If you are looking for a very entertaining Saturday afternoon, come out to the Trevi at 2 p.m. and enjoy Porketta Bingo. 

Mannisto added, “We always save room for walk-ins, so come out and have fun with us!”
